As mentioned above, the $50 price point is for the lantern itself. There will likely be a package option to include high-capacity batteries, and later an accessory kit than can be bought with the lantern possibly or as a separate kit.

@klrman, honestly, just get rid of the lumen monsters. They aren't useful for most of us, and their battery life is an indication of this. However, get the FW3A and the LT1. Keep a list of these types of lights, like I do: - Lantern(LT1) - EDC(FW3A) - Thrower(GT Mini) - Lumen monster(BLF Q8) - Versatile EDC (Amutorch VG10 21700 with sliced LH351D) And that's about it. I don't need any more lights. Have gotten rid of most of them.
